Step 5: Enjoy yourself and Film your Bicycle Ride

The Bike Seatpost Mount it's finished!In less than 10 minutes we have built an economic and adjustable seatpost mount for any type of camera.All you n...

Hi everyone!

In this ible i'm going to show you how to make a Bike Seatpost Mount spending less than 5$.

Few months ago I made the Bike Handlebar/Fork Mount. It's a really good mount because it allows you to mount your action camera on the handlebar or on the bike's frame (both on rear and front fork).

But, since the seatpost it's inclined backwards (photo#4), you can't use that mount otherwise you will film just the sky.

So I made this mount, with the improvement of a tripod mount adapter, that allows you to incline the camera keeping it parallel to the floor (photo#4) and to film your rides from a different point of view.

If you use a compact camera or a normal action camera, you will record exactly what you can see in photo#1 of this ible's intro! (maybe you could see a knee in the lower section of the screen if you did some heavy pedaling)

But yes... If you use an action camera with a fisheye lens (photo#4 of the intro), or a GoPro, you will record a little also your knees at the sides like here for example

of course! ;) since the bike bell it's made for the handlebar yes! it will works also as handlebar mount.

A few months ago I made a mount for the forks and the handlebar ;) but the situation is this:

this mount also works as handlebar mount,

BUT the other mount doesn't works as seatpost mount. (because of the inclination of the seatpot tube)

and, since (in my case) the seatpost tube's diameter it's bigger than the handlebar one, you have also to look the diameter of the inner hole of the bike bell ;) on the package of this one there was written "XL".
